Abstract: Excerpt from the report: This report describes a study conducted from January through July 1968 to find ways of preventing deterioration of packaged fresh kale, and of prolonging its storage and shelf life. Research for the study was directed toward a series of tests in which sorted and unsorted fresh whole kale leaves and fresh packaged whole kale leaves were given various prestorage treatments and then subjected to different storage and holding environments for various periods of time. Throughout the tests, emphasis was placed on finding better storage and holding methods for washed and for unwashed fresh kale stored in wood shipping and storage containers, or packaged as consumer units in 10-ounce cellophane bags.
